First Snow of the Season

[one_half_first]

After five days of rain, I finally spotted snow on the HualapaiCam this morning. Knowing it would be gone by the afternoon, I quickly grabbed my ditch kit and a cup of coffee and we headed up the mountain. With the exception of a lone Rhino-rider, we had the mountain to ourselves. The timing couldn’t have been better—we drove up through perfect fresh powder, had time to enjoy a snow-ball fight, then watched as it all came melting down around us. I’m going to have to buy Dani a new camera. The execution of many of her shots is just brilliant, but the poor little processor in her old SD1100 just can’t keep up.
